Private Detective Espionage.

FROM the Kansas City Star
The shooting OF Banker Rawson by young Lee
Will probably lead to thorough investigation OF
the private-detective system in Chicago and else
where. Rawson employed two OF the largest
agenciesn the country to work up the case against
his wife. One OF the firms threw up the work as
too contemplate for even its hardened conscience
less operatives to perform. A rival agency, at
tracted by the immense profit In the lob placed
itself at the bankers disposal and agreed to have
the case In excellent shape for the divorce court
In very short time. Operatives were detailed to
watch Mrs. Rawson day and night. They held
complete possession OF the house in which she
lived and subjected her to every kind OF annoy
ance. They smoked foul pipes at her chamber
door, sang vile songs, and drank whisky ON one
occasion, when Mrs. RawsOn was going out for q
walk, one OF the brutes seized her by the ankle
and dragged her back into the house. using the
vilest language as an accompaniment TO his cow
ardly conduct. Many incidents OF this Character
will come out at the trial, and the public Will learn
notfor the first time, however. the mean despicable
character OF private-detecttve work In Chicago,
Some OF the agencies In city arrest men on the
barest suspicion, key them locked up for days in
their private 1as, and compel them to sign papers
generating the detectives" from blame In case
the sweat-box tnQuisitiOn Tn which they are vgor-
ously subjected proves them innocent II the Trial
OF Lee leads to nothing else than an exposure OF
the dastardly conduct and unconstitutional prac-
tices OF private detectives it will effect great
public good.

ANARCHIST NAY CONFESS.
Three of the Doomed Wen Refuse 10 Ac.
cept Communication Of Sentence.

Geo Engel, Louis Lingg. and Adolph Fischer, Of
the group OF death-sentenced anarchists have
written open letters TO Gov. Oglesby refusing any
Communication OF sentence short OF liberty and de-
claring undated faith In the principles Of an
archisrn. Fischer writes:

action OF which know / am innocent And
which honestly believe to be true and noble? No.

TO offer with regard TO being an anarchist, because

Is: Am responsible for the death OF the police

assert that every aDoitionist could nave been held

The letters OF Engel and Lingg are similar in
tone. Parsons wrote TO the governor several weeks
ago that he would accept only liberty or DEATH 1t
Is believed that these four men propose now to
tell the whole story OF the Haymarket massacre,
and that astonishing revelations will be made.
FEDERAL TROOPS FOR CHICAGO.
The Adjutant-Generals department of Missouri
has ordered Company F and Company X, 9Th
infantry, stationed at Fort Douglass, near Salt
Lake City, TO proceed at once to the new military
reservation presented by chicago to the United
states. There are about forty-ive men in each
company. They will leave for Chicago Friday or
Saturday, In command or Major Lyster. Company
h, which has been building military road to Fort
Duchesne, Is now marching TO Price, station on
the Denver and Rio Grande and Will reach there
Tuesday or Wednesday. 1t Is rumored that the
reason for haste Is the desire to have Federal
troops In Chicago several days prior to the day set
for the hanging of the anarchists.

Racing Rules and starters.

From Turf, Field and Farm
Now that the racing season is about closing for
the year It will be well to call the attention of the
racing officials to the rules and some amendments
which IL would be Judicious and advantageous to
racing interests to adopt. Undor the present rules
the starter Is given autOcratic powers, which are
not used with discretion, but rather In a despotic
manner. The starter has authority TO fine or sus-
pend jockeys for disobedience OF orders attempts
TO take any unfair advantage. Now we do not be-
leve that the rules ever contemplated the tnfiic-
ton Of excessive puniShments, such suspendlng
jockey for the term OF six months and there Is an
instance on record where a Jockey was Suspended
until after the spring meeting OF the Brooklyn
Jockey club upon the report OF an assistant
money under the threat that he would have him
suspended II this be true, and there is little
doubt It is the suboficial should at once be ruled
OF and excluded from all the tracks. There is
strong feeling that when jockey has a mount
outside the stable OF his regular employer ana Is
suspended. the suspension should only hold good
against him for all mounts except for his regular
employer; and II in the discharge OF his obligation
FOR his employer he should be suspended Tor any
cause, then disQualify Tor the term OF suspension
for ali mounts, Including those OF his employer
Unless this rule Is adopted employers who pay
good wages for jockeys will, In SELF Defense be
compelled 10 deny all other owners their Jockeys
for fear that they may lose their services when
most needed. In England the starter is subject to
fine OF ESQ II he starts the horses In front OF the
starting post. and the start Is void. In this
country the rule says II q starter allows q start
TO take place In front OF the starting post the start
the statement OF the starter and his assistants as
TO the start Is conclusive. The starters as u rule
are Tar from IMPARTIAL. Many Of the prominent
jockeys violate the rules by attempting to take
unfair advantage, but they are seldom nned or
suspended, while the little fellows, who from
want OF physical strength to control a fractions
and badly broken horse, are put down for days
and frequently for the meeting. The rule could
be so amended That the suspension or other pun
1shment would not apply 10 riding for the regular
employer, unless the punishment was incurred
when riding MS own horses, or It might allow the
starter 10 report facts TO the executive committee
and let them fix the punishment, which power Is
We also believe 1t would be to the advantage and
In the best interest OF honest racing that law
should be passed licensing both trainers and
jockeys Its moral influence would be felt and
observed, and We would see much less dissipation,
reckless riding and bad conduct before the public
than Is now so often seen.

all OF those countries with no language but Eng
